I am writing an article about Industrial Workers and I need to add a fictitious interview with an industrial worker about the struggles that they faced in the late 19th Century in this article. Can you please help me find an interview for this? I have googled and keep coming up empty.

Question

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I'm sure the purpose of this assignment is for you to imagine what conditions were like for industrial workers then. You could start by asking the worker where he or she works (answers might be textile factory or coal mine). Other questions could be about working hours, days; working conditions; pay; child labor.

These sites have a lot of good information for you.
